Good story Alicia. What a lot of people don't often realize is that what looks like a small company, and sometimes may be, is often owned by a larger one. K2 started out as a small ski company, was bought by a conglomerate that changed its name to K2, and eventually owned K2, Atlas, Tubbs, Marker, Vokl, Marmot and some other brands.

In 2007, K2 was bought by Jarden, an even bigger company that owns several dozen companies including Coleman, plus a bunch of consumer brands like Oster, Rival, Mr. Coffee, Sunbeam and Crock-Pot, just to name a few.
